2 Esdras 9:34

34 And lo, it is a custom: when the ground hath received seed, or the sea a ship, or any vessel meat or drink, having perished wherein it was sown or cast into,

2 Esdras 9:34 In-Context

32 But our fathers who received the law kept it not, and observed not Thy ordinances; and though the fruit of Thy law did not perish--neither could it, for it was Thine--

33 yet those who received it perished, because they kept not the thing that was sown in them.

34 And lo, it is a custom: when the ground hath received seed, or the sea a ship, or any vessel meat or drink, having perished wherein it was sown or cast into,

35 that thing also, which was sown or cast therein or received, doth perish and remaineth not with us; but with us it hath not happened so.

36 For we who have received the law perish by sin, and our heart also which received it.
